This is not a clone. This is an original, like Kill X.

unless you actually did come up with the idea yourself, than that's cool. someone built pretty much the same bot before I did without me knowing, maybe you did as well.

How is this cheaty? There is no custom or cheatbot2 parts this crawler has.
You do nothing. You sit and watch it have a seizure and die.

And I'm guessing you'd be saying the same thing if you were talking to Sage about Bumble Bee when it was first showcased?

Sage made the first IIRC. I wouldn't have a problem because it was original. Now the design is run-of-the-mill.

At least it's a functional bot, which in of it self is an achievement to most of your machines, Sparky.

Ontopic: The bot is not that bad. Setup seems a bit sloppy but thats really about it. Removal of the pinks may help a little bit.

Yep, it's a ghey crawler. :gawe:

The pinks are unnecessary, try to stack a second black in there if you can. The weapon setup looks like it could be much improved, however, and they look extremely irregular. So it won't move or spin cleanly at all.
Think again. It is VERY damaging. It can beat some effective HSes, such as Copyright Infrigerment  and Death Dealer.

I never mentioned anything about damage. Any crawler like Sage's Bumble Bee is very damaging. I said that with the uneven and irregular extender work/weapon placement you have, it will be near impossible to drive in a straight line. And the HS's you fought are already slightly outdated, they were BBEANS 5 competitors, getting on for 2 years old. The 36HS was a revolutionary concept back then. Fight some other styles of bots - popups, VS's, et cetera, then get back to me.

Check out the BBEANS 5 thread, i'm not sure about sparkey, but there was a lot of hate directed at Sage for that bot, for these reasons aswell.

actuallly fracture i got a ton of RAGEEE at me for entering Bumble Bee into BBEANS 5. The idea was to get a crawler with fast controlled movement (which it has) but people missed the point and saw it as a cheap tornado bot of death (which secretly they were all scared to fight).

no worries though, i wouldn't expect you to be caught up on RA2 history this fast.

I just thought Sparkey was being a bit harsh with Hard Bot purely because he was new...i.e. he wouldn't challenge someone like that if they were an experienced builder even though the bot concepts are the same.

Thankfully you got off the hook fast when Bumblebee lost.  That'll show 'em!

It just goes to prove that really no bot is invincible in a tournament.  Heck I remember when Popups were consider cheap as well... People used to cry all over the place when those got entered in tourneys.  Nowadays they are totally accepted because people are used to them.

Drive?
Needs double strength aluminium armour, not normal aluminium.
Razorz and maces won't go together that well like that, they'll end up hindering each other, look at other stock HS setups to see better ways of setting them up.

This is what happened: I thought I might run out of weight if I used DSA, so I used Plastic. Then I put on standard Aluninum to see If it's still a Lightweight, And it was still. It's weakness is no controlled movment.

Bit of a ridiculous name. And the weapons are uneven, so that'll compromise it. If you angle the HPZs downwards and outwards slightly, then you could have a bit less weaponry, and a LOT more control.
